Paul;

I was very selective in not taking the best ears. I had maybe 20% that were decent ears as far as length and filling. I skipped across rows, got further inside the plot and avoided the areas where there were fewer plants, which would have produced bigger ears. I didn't want to skew the sample to my benefit. I planted very heavy by accident; I got my sprockets reversed. Since it's only food plots, I wasn't worried about moisture content. Maybe I should get a couple of good ears and count/weigh those and then get a couple of poorer ears and do those to get a mean. I counted 50 ears in a 20-foot row. Based on my sample, that would yield 17,000 kernels or even at 80% would yield 13,360. It was interesting to do for fun and at least tells me I'm on target with my inputs.

Larry
